Kanab UtahOnline Driver Education and Kanab UtahLicensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Kanab UtahLearner’s Permit or first Kanab Utahdriver’s license. Kanab Utahhas a Graduated Driver License Program for Kanab Utahteen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Kanab Utahdriver’s license goes as smoothly as possible. So let’s get started.
The Kanab UtahLearner Permit or Kanab UtahInstruction Permit
When you turn 15, you can finally apply for a Kanab UtahLearner Permit, otherwise known as a Kanab UtahInstruction Permit. In order to apply, you’ll need:
- Valid identification documents
- Social Security card or SSN proof (W-2 form, for example)
- Kanab UtahResidency Verification
- Proof of Driving Experience
- Nonrefundable fee of $15
Once you’re ready, head on down to your local Kanab UtahDriver License Office with your parent or guardian and submit your application. Then, you’ll have to take a medical and eye exam, as well as a written exam. If you survive, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Kanab UtahLearner Permit. Remember, you must practice driving with your parent, guardian, driving instructor, or licensed driver who is at least 21. Of course, all passengers must wear seatbelts, and be sure to carry your Kanab UtahLearner Permit with you at all times.
Once you’ve held your Kanab UtahLearner Permit for 6 months have met a few more requirements, you’ll be ready for the next step in the Kanab UtahGraduated License Program, the Kanab UtahMinor License.
The Kanab UtahMinor License or Kanab UtahIntermediate License
You can apply for your Kanab UtahMinor License once you’ve held your Kanab UtahLearner Permit for 6 months and are at least 16 years of age. However, you’ll also need to make sure you meet these requirements:
- Hold a Kanab UtahLearner Permit for 6 months
- Be at least 16 years of age
- Complete a Kanab Utahapproved driving education course
- Practice driving for 40 hours with a parent/guardian, or supervising driver
- At least 10 hours must be at night (and must be signed!)
Then, make an appointment and head on down to your local Kanab UtahDriver License Office. Be sure to bring the valid identification documents, including your Kanab UtahLearner Permit. Then you’ll have to take the dreaded Kanab Utahroad test! If you pass, then congratulations. You’ve just earned your Kanab UtahMinor License, otherwise known as the Kanab UtahProvisional License. However, you’ll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
Kanab UtahTeen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
There are still a few restrictions you’ll have to keep in mind now that you have your Kanab UtahMinor License:
- All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts
- If you’re 16, no passengers under 21 for 6 months or until you reach 18 years of age
- The exception is if your passengers are family members
- No driving between midnight and 5AM unless you’re going to/from your job, a school sanctioned activity, for a medical emergency, or on assignment for a farmer or rancher
Once you turn 18, these restrictions will no longer be valid. Freedom!
